Gulf Coast Highway Nanci Griffith
[C]Gulf coast highway, he w[F]orked th[C]e rails,
[C]He worked the rice fields with their cool dark w[F]ells,
He worked the ol[Am]d rigs in the gu[G]lf of Me[C]xico,
The only[F] thing we've eve[C]r owned is this [G]old house here by
the [C]road
Chorus
And when[Am] he dies, he says he'll [G]catch some blackbird's
[C]wing
And he w[F]ill fly away to [C]heaven, come some [G]sweet blue
bonnet s[C]pring
She walked through spring time, when I was home
Our days were sweet, the nights were warm
Seasons pass, jobs would come, flowers fade, this old
house felt so alone when the work took me away
And when she dies, she says she'll catch some blackbirds
wing,
And she will fly away to heaven, come some sweet blue
bonnet spring.
Highway 90, the jobs are gone,
We tend our garden, we set the sun
This is the only place on earth blue bonnets grow
And once a year they come and go
At this old house here by the road
And when we die, we say we'll catch some blackbird's wing,
And we will fly away together come some sweet blue bonnet
spring.
